£3 for a tree stake at Wyevales! Travis Perkins haven't got, nor B&Q nor Homebase...

Anyone know where is a good (cheap) place to acquire such an item (or 15 in fact). The round ones, not the flimsy square ones please...

Is a tree stake a very specific item Ollie? I don't know what sort of dimensions you are after  but I recently bought some fence posts from a local agricultural merchant. 6ft long and classed as three inch diameter, although being merely de-barked and de-twigged tree branches, it's hard to be accurate about diameters. Less than a quid each delivered. Longer ones are available apparently.

You can't please all of the people all of the time, but you can't upset them all at once either.

Try scavaging from a local office or if there is any road building near by?

The cheapest I know of is the BTCV Online Shop less than £1 each but they charge a lot for delivery.

Can't beat a saw mill for that kind of thing - no middle men.
